Map of Historical and Existing Vegetation Types

  • Zoom into area of interest
  • Toggle layers with control in top left corner
  • Hover over hex to get vegetation type
  • Map for exploratory work only-BpS and EVT legends and mapping methods differ making exact comparisons dicey.
  • Hexagons are ~ 5km2 (1,100ac2)

Succession Class Descriptions

Below is a table of the Succession Class descriptions for the Biophysical Settings charted above. For complete Biophysical Settings descriptions see links in Associated Biophysical Settings descriptions section below.

Associated Biophysical Settings descriptions

Below you will find a list of Biophysical Settings (BpS) that is linked to their descriptions. Note:

  • There may be multiple BpS names listed. If so, this is because your landscape spans multiple LANDFIRE Map Zones and has multiple ‘variants’ for those BPSs.
  • The names below are followed by a number in parentheses. The first 5-digit number is the BPS Code. The following numbers reprent the Map Zones. For example, “13020_65_66” is ‘Laurentian-Acadian Northern Hardwoods forest’ BpS (13020) in Map Zones 65 and 66.
  • The map below will help orient you to the Map Zones for your landscape.
